Platelet-Rich Plasma Injection for Severe Dry Eye
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This trial tests whether an injection of a special concentrate from your own blood (platelet-rich plasma, or PRP) can help calm severe dry eye disease. It’s meant for people whose dry eye has not improved with other treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with severe dry eye (keratoconjunctivitis sicca) by an eye doctor.
- Your recent blood tests show normal platelet counts and clotting factors.
- You do not have significant scarring of the tear gland under your eyelid.
- You do not have complete blockage of the tear drainage ducts in the eye being treated.

This study tests an experimental eye drop made from human platelets (blood cells that help healing) for people with moderate to severe dry eye. The drop is compared to a placebo (fake drop) to see if it improves eye comfort and surface health.
This trial tests whether eye drops made from a small sample of your own blood can relieve the symptoms of severe dry eye disease. The drops are meant to help eyes that have not improved with standard treatments.
This trial studies injecting your own platelet-rich plasma into the eye to help a persistent corneal surface defect heal. It may help if you have a recurring or nerve-related corneal ulcer, but it’s not for certain ulcer types or active eye infections.
This trial tests whether injections made from umbilical cord blood “platelet-rich plasma” can improve vision in people with dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD) in both eyes. It targets older adults with specific vision levels and no major other eye or medical problems that could affect the results.
This trial tests if a treatment made from umbilical cord blood and platelet-rich plasma can help people with dry age-related macular degeneration. The treatment is given as an injection into the eye, and the goal is to see if it slows vision loss or improves sight.
This study tests whether an injection of your own platelet-rich plasma (PRP) can help heal muscle, tendon, or joint problems that haven't gotten better with other treatments like physical therapy or medications.
